Mahsa Amini death anniversary

BBC World Service - Weekend, Mahsa Amini death anniversary

Tight security and defiance as Iranians mark the first anniversary of Mahsa Amini’s death

Tight security and defiance as Iranians mark the first anniversary of Mahsa Amini’s death.

Iran has tightened security to prevent protests to mark the first anniversary of the death in custody of Mahsa Amini. She was arrested for failing to adhere to the Islamic Republic’s strict headscarf rules. 

Also on the programme: Aid workers struggle to access flood devasted areas in Libya; and we look at the art scene in Taiwan. 

Host Audrey Brown is joined by British politician Baroness Arminka Helic, and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s foreign correspondent, Chris Brown.
